"The green
revolution has won a temporary success in man's war against hunger and
deprivation; it has given humanity a breathing space. If fully implemented, the
revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three
decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed;
otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only."

Ironically, Borlaug, not only foresaw mass human starvation, he
unwittingly contributed to it. While his great experimenting with crops
yielded greater gains per acre, he facilitated massive population growth that
exploded the world from 2.5 billion at the beginning of the last century to our
enormously hungry and thirsty 7.1 billion humans in the 21st
century. He unwittingly created even greater human starvation levels into
the billions when the ax finally falls as to water, arable land and energy
availability. This fact remains: the ax will fall upon humanity in this
century.

Dreadful, miserable and deadly! Today, we humans seem to
think we can outsmart Mother Nature. We can vanquish her! As you
see in this graphic series, at this point, we seem to be winning. Not for
much longer!

(One of the world's biggest refugee camps lies on Kenya's
border with Somalia. The Dadaab camp, designed to hold 90,000
refugees, now gives shelter to more than three times that number. Over 1.5
billion human beings cannot secure a clean glass of water daily.) Photo:

For millions of years, Mother Nature culled any species that
overwhelmed its carrying capacity of water, food and resources.
When we humans came onto the scene, our cleverness allowed us a small niche
which became a larger niche and today, homo erectus meaning “clever ape”, rages
across the planet with a self-evident arrogance that we can brutalize nature in
any way we choose. We think we can poison the air, water and land without
harm to ourselves. We think we can encroach on the rest of the natural
world and kill off endless species—yet remain unharmed and untouched by our
folly.

In
2011, 46.2 million people (15.0 percent) were in poverty.
In
2011, 9.5 million (11.8 percent) families were in poverty.
In
2011, 26.5 million (13.7 percent) of people ages 18-64 were in poverty.
In
2011, 16.1 million (22.0 percent) children under the age of 18 were in
poverty.
In
2011, 3.6 million (9.0 percent) seniors 65 and older were in poverty.

Food Insecurity and Very Low Food
Security

In
2011, 50.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, 33.5
million adults and 16.7 million children.

These figures sober any American, but they do not begin to tell
the story of 21st century world starvation dynamics. With our
paltry 316 million human population, we also suffer the highest obesity rates
in the world with over half of our citizens fat, overweight and suffering from
heart disease, diabetes and other overweight medical health issues. But
we also feature 40 + million Americans subsisting in food kitchens and food
banks. An astounding 47 million of them live off food stamps.

Ironically, 10 million children starve to death around the world
annually according to the World Health Organization www.WHO.org
. Another eight million adult humans starve to death annually around the
world from their sheer poverty. (Source: Time Magazine)

(In Africa, India and many other countries, women walk three miles
for their daily water and must line up to fill their jugs. Then, they
must carry them back three miles. As water becomes scarcer as Africa’s
population grows from 1 billion to 3 billion at the end of this century and
India’s races from 1.2 billion to 1.6 billion, all living hell will break out
for Africans and Indians scooped up in the Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse.) Photography by www.WorldHunger.org

“Children
are the most visible victims of under-nutrition. Children who are poorly
nourished suffer up to 160 days of illness each year. Poor nutrition plays a
role in at least half of the 10.9 million child deaths each year--five million
deaths.” (www.worldhunger.org)

(In Agbogbloshie, a slum in Accra, the capital of Ghana,
adults and children tear away at computers from abroad to get at the precious
metals inside. Left, David Akore, 18, and other foragers. At the dump, the
machines are dismantled and often burned to extract metals for resale. The
equipment in this digital cemetery come mainly from Europe and the United
States, sometimes as secondhand donations meant to reduce the "digital
divide'' — the disparity in computer access between poor nations and rich.)

With all those realities, we humans continue our Kentucky Derby
gallop toward the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. An average of 57
million humans die every year from all causes. We replace them with 57
million new babies and an extra 80 million more to equal 137 million babies
annually. We cannot water them, feed them or begin to educate them, but
we continue birthing them around the globe. As a clever species, we prove
dumber than an emu.

In America, we gallop toward an added 138 million people by 2050—a
scant 37 years from now. Beyond reason and without thinking, we appear to
believe we can outsmart Mother Nature. We face a rude and vicious awakening
long before 2050 as Peak Oil rips gasoline out of our tractors and slams us for
$10 up to $20 per gallon.

(Americans lining up at a food bank in Miami. A mind-numbing 47
million Americans cannot feed themselves on their wages. They subsist on
taxpayer funded food stamps. They line up at food banks and soup kitchens
to eat some food. If America continues its raging gallop toward adding
the projected 138 million by 2050—a scant 37 years from now, the ability to
feed our poor will become impossible.) Photography by www.bread.blog.org

How will
our civilization survive the raging Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? At
the moment, we charge right into their cross hairs. First, we need a
national discussion-debate. We need to throw “population overload” onto
the table. We need to come up with an “American Population Policy” of two
children or less per female. We need to stop mass immigration. We
need to encourage one-child families to overcome “population momentum” now
eating up India and China. We need to be realistic and rational instead
of emotional and religious. We cannot hope for good to ensue, we must act
in order to create a viable civilization. This series applies to Canada,
UK, Europe, Australia and most other countries of the world.

Without
our immediate actions, we most certainly will become victims of the Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse. As Borlaug said, “But the frightening power of human reproduction must also
be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral
only."

In a five minute astoundingly simple yet brilliant video, “Immigration, Poverty, and Gum Balls”,
Roy Beck, director of www.numbersusa.ORG,
graphically illustrates the impact of overpopulation. Take five minutes
to see for yourself:

This 10 minute demonstration shows Americans the results of
unending mass immigration on the quality of life and sustainability for future
generations: in a few words, “Mind boggling!” www.NumbersUSA.org

This is the best website to start: www.numbersusa.org ; watch Roy Beck’s
“Immigration by the Numbers” at 14 minutes. Bi-partisan and very effective.

We don't need to do anything. I'm sure that a plague, world war, terrorist nuke et al. will thin out the population while we watch :) Maybe they will figure out how to green the deserts. More brains are being created every day, and they will solve the problems of their day. We sure don't need more govt. regulations, like 1 child per family. Being the world's greatest genius, I want to sell my sperm for $1 million a shot and/or clone myself a million times :)

I just hope that 100 years from now the freedom spirit is still what characterizes Americans, no matter who can't stand us.
